    Yes, Dossy we can. However, I think your comments about Harvey are still
    in the kitchen.

    Harvey is a very bright and capable person. I have enormous respect for
    him and I support his attempt to try to get people to realize that each of
    us is different and to be respectful of the fact that some of us react
    differently. Harvey simply doesn't enjoy rudeness and slighting
    someone. Even though I am not as sensitive as Harvey to this at this point
    in my life, I respect his views and feelings.

    Now, rethink your first paragraph please and see how you have made a snipe
    at Harvey which really is not warranted.

    Natasha
